MOUNTAIN BIKING: Ojitos Canyon

← NM RIO GRANDE DEL RANCHO TALPA NM Single Tracks →

Description

Head up the South Boundary Trail from the El Nogal Picnic Area for a <br />
challenging 3-mile uphill climb. There's a few rock staircases to push <br />
through, and I did quite a bit of pushing beyond that as well. The South <br />
Boundary Trail then connects with the wider Ojitos Canyon Trail, which, for <br />
its 7 miles, alternates between long ridge rides, steep rocky descents, and <br />
a seemingly endless parade of berms. Toward the end, the trail connects <br />
with the Talpa traverse, but if you continue straight over the berms, you'll <br />
arrive on Route 585 just around the corner from the El Nogal Picnic Area. <br />
<br />
There were a few riders coming down the South Boundary Trail from the <br />
Ojitos Canyon intersection ... and I would only recommend that stretch with <br />
a downhill bike -- steep, narrow, and rocky.

Directions

To make this 10.5-mile loop, start at El Nogal Picnic Area, On Route 64, half a <br /><br />mile east of the intersection with Route 585.
